I am thankful for everything I have experienced in this life of mine for in all I have found. I am thankful for all the tears I have cried for, they have taught me to appreciate laughter. You have given me the ability to see the joy that comes after.

Perhaps unconsciously I had this fear that bringing attention to the good things in my life might incur bad luck. So to play it safe, I went along without a grateful heart. You might be laughing now as you read this, and I thought that's rather silly of me too. But that's the belief I once held onto.

Not so long ago, I didn't know that I can express thanks for the blessings and good things in my life. I just took things for granted. Or worse, I was worried that if I was to acknowledge the blessings that I've received, somehow something "bad" would happen and take away those blessings.

Now, I'm quick to express thanks whenever a good thing comes into my life. Somehow, there's always something to be thankful about!I have this simple statement that I make often,

"Thank you God for all the blessings and abundance in my life."

Happiness Is Like A Butterfly

If you not happy, why aren't you? Chances are it is because you want something which you do not have, objects or conditions. This is probably not a good enough reason and a review of your situation and perceptions may be in order.You may have seen video of children in very poor countries laughing and playing, unconcerned that they should have more to be happy about.

They are happy because they are playing, because they have their friends and family, and some food to eat that day. Everyone has the right to be happy, and if they can be in their situation, shouldn't you? Happiness consists more in small conveniences of pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man in the course of his life. Happiness is inside us, in our minds, in our thinking.

It is not external material things or experiences, but the enjoyment of our thoughts and feelings. This is good because our thoughts, and therefore our happiness, are up to us.Start by reviewing the things that you have to be happy about and dwell on these. Don't overlook the little or basic things that you take for granted. Make a habit of substituting unhappy thoughts with happy thoughts. Whenever an unfavorable picture enters your mind, eject it and replace it with a pleasant one. We all have some nice experiences to recollect and there are usually little pleasures around us most of the time.

You can even imagine enjoyable experiences, and it will have a similar positive effect. Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. Establish good principles and conduct yourself according to these principles. Love, or at least be tolerant of, your fellow humans. Don't strive too hard for that which, in the end, will not make you happier.

What a Beautiful Life Means

Love has many meanings,

from something that gives a little pleasure,

to someone like me would die for.

It can describe an intense feeling of affection,

an emotion or an emotional state.

In ordinary use, it usually refers to interpersonal love.

Probably due to its large psychological relevance,

love is one of the most common themes in poetry.
I'm giving my entire life to you,

all of my mind, body, and soul.

Handing over to you my sweetheart,

in hopes, you'll be the one to keep me whole.

I'm delicately handing my heart to you,

in your caressing hands to forever keep.

I'm giving you the chance of destroying me,

and I know I'm in your love too deep.
Depending on your gentle and sweet love.

To get me through the tragic world each day.

I'm praying to God you'll always be here by my side,

and that's where you'll always be to stay.

Putting you over everyone else including myself,

you automatically go to the front of my line.

Which is why I'm delicately handing you my heart,

in hopes, you'll always and eternally, completely be mine, InsyaAllah.

Happy Aidilfitri

Suffer From Anger & Grief

We cannot always reason with those that are bitter towards us and sometimes we may need to accept that it exists. To counteract this with retaliation is something that needs careful consideration. Consider how much more you often suffer from your anger and grief, than from those very things for which you are angry and grieved.

Most of us experience anger at one time or another. Others may get angry with us, justifiably or not. We may become angry at others, sometimes with very good reason, sometimes not. One thing is for sure, it is not a pleasant experience.

Perhaps we are guilty of hostility more than we would like to be. Greater interaction with people should reduce these feelings. Less anger should result in more confidence and less stress.

Is a discussion possible and is it worthwhile? A few words and an exchange point of view might result in one or both sides having a change in attitude. Try to see another point of view no matter how unreasonable it appears.

Consider how you are feeling. It is common, perhaps good advice, to let anger be expressed, to not hold it inside. My personal experience is that sometimes I have regretted this because I was wrong or over reacted. Sometimes the anger still lingered. Avoiding anger in the first place, through conciliation or acceptance, can result in feeling better all around.

Finally, hatred is a prolonged anger towards a fellow human. There are various forms of hatred, motivated in different ways, and mostly without cause. Prejudice, jealousy, gossip, bullying are hard to deal with. This is where friends can be a great help in trying to understand these harmful actions. They can offer comfort and foresight. Please be a friend and whatever is begin in anger, will be ends in shame.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: The Silent Killer
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning occurs when carbon monoxide gas is inhaled. CO is a colorless, odorless, highly poisonous gas that is produced by incomplete combustion. It is found in automobile exhaust fumes, faulty stoves and heating systems, fires, and cigarette smoke.

Other sources include woodburning stoves, kerosene heaters, improperly ventilated water headers and gas stoves, and blocked or poorly maintained chimney flues. CO interferes with the ability of the blood to carry oxygen. The result is headache, nausea, convulsions, and finally death by asphyxiation.

About Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
1) Unlike many gases, it is odourless, colourless, tasteless and non-irritating. Red blood cells absorb the gas over 200 times more readily than oxygen.

2) As levels of carbon monoxide in the air rise, this gas replaces oxygen in the bloodstream. As a result, body tissues are damaged and may die of a lack of oxygen.

3) The most common symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are respiratory difficulties and impairing of visual perception.

4) Have a reliable mechanic check the exhaust system of your car once a year to check for leaks and damaged pipes. Have the system checked if the sound of the exhaust is suddenly different or if you hear any funny noises.

5) When driving in heavy traffic it is also advisable to have a slight opening in the windows, especially with the air-conditioning on. Do this when you are caught in heavy traffic or when the car is stationary for long hours.

6) If you park your car in a closed garage, carbon monoxide can rapidly build up while your engine is running with the garage doors closed. Never run your car in a garage unless the outside door is open to provide ventilation.

7) Have your vehicle regularly tuned to ensure that there is proper combustion in the engine. This will reduce the level of carbon monoxide emissions.

8) If the car has a catalytic converter, make sure it is in proper working condition. Removing the catalytic converter can also increase carbon monoxide levels.
